Restrictions
The restrictions described here assume that the latest fi rmware version is installed in the TeraStation. The latest fi rmware
can be downloaded from the Buff alo Technology web site.
• You can register up to the second level of subfolders. However, folders with more than 80 bytes in their names can-
not be selected.
• Before they can be selected as backup target folders, folders on other LinkStations or TeraStations must be confi g-
ured as backup destinations.
• For best results, TeraStation hard drives should be formatted with XFS or EXT3, including USB-attached drives and
drives that are configured as media cartridges. If a drive is instead formatted with FAT32 or FAT16, the following
limitations may apply. Files larger than 2 GB cannot be backed up to a FAT16 drive, and fi les larger than 4 GB cannot
be backed up to a FAT32 drive. Errors may occur and backup jobs may stop before fi nishing. If the second of the date
when a fi le was created is an odd number, overwrite-diff erential backups may overwrite FAT32 drives even if there is
no diff erence in the data.
• If the data being backed up contains fi les from Mac OS X such as ".DS_Store", the fi le names may include characters
that cannot be written to FAT16 or FAT32 drives. This will cause errors and the backup operation may stop before fi n-
ishing.
• Note the following if using Auto Power Mode during backups. If the TeraStation is in standby mode, it will power on
automatically 15 minutes before a backup starts. If the TeraStation is switched to standby mode immediately before
a scheduled backup, the backup may not be performed.
•
To back up data between LinkStations or TeraStations on a network using jumbo frames, make sure that both devices
are confi gured to use identical (or similar) Ethernet frame sizes. If Ethernet frame sizes of these are signifi cantly diff er-
ent, the backup job may not be properly performed. In such a case, select the default frame size (1518 bytes).
•
Backing up fi les or folders with multi-byte characters in their names may cause log fi les to output incorrectly.
